T-Trak group getting started in Reading, PA

Posted by cruikshank on Monday, November 6, 2006 6:57 PM

Hi, I just joined this T-trak group, and I'm posting this for the founder, who is not a member of as many train forums as I am. If your interested, please contact Rich and check out the site. We have our first meeting next week, November 14th and hope to get the ball rolling from there. Thanks, Dave

Just thought I would put some feelers out to anyone in the Reading PA
area. The N-Trak club I belong to has one other member who has started
on a side-track T-Trak project, with the other members not really
interested in our "baby modules".

I have everything to run a T-Trak layout...a complete oval of modules
(in various stages of scenery construction) 2 power packs (one MRC and
one IHC cheapo) and trains. Oh, and a location to meet just outside of
Reading.

Reading has deep roots in railroading (obviously) and there are many
groups of modelers in the area, but no N scale or T-Trak specific, and
I would like to fill that void. If anyone is interested, let me know!

How many people from Reading PA frequent or Lurk on a UK based forum? who knows????

Gee, how many of us from around here are there on here? Just what I need, something ELSE to tempt me to switch to N scale. I'm already helping out on one N scale layout in the area, turn fo the century Reading based. That same guy has a OO/HO British outline layout alongisde the N scale one.
If only they hadn't come out with Reading first generation diesels in N scale. Then I'd have no temptation...

I hope T-Trak continues to grow in popularity. It can be used for more than just round-and-round ovals, too. I designed a couple of "quad" industry and yard modules based on a (highly compressed) real place. These have been very popular with the owner and his friends. They usually operate them simply interconnected, but they have also been part of a larger set-up.
